London, July 15 (RHC)—A leak of another diplomatic cable issued by now former UK Ambassador to the United States, Sir Kim Darroch, says Donald Trump abandoned the Iran nuclear deal to spite Barack Obama.

In the leaked memo, the diplomat described the move as an act of "diplomatic vandalism", according to the Mail on Sunday.

The document says the memo was written after the then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson appealed to the US in 2018 to stick with the deal.

The latest leak came despite the London Police warning against publication.

The first memos criticizing President Trump's administration, which emerged a week ago, prompted a furious reaction from the US president and resulted in Sir Kim resigning from his role.

The Mail on Sunday reports that Sir Kim wrote to Mr Johnson informing him Republican President Trump appeared to be abandoning the nuclear deal for "personality reasons" - because the pact had been agreed by his Democrat predecessor, Barack Obama.
